The Birmingham Genealogical Society was organized March 15, 1959. It was organized exclusively for educational and research purposes, and to foster preservation of genealogical and historical material. We are located in Jefferson County, Alabama, USA.

Many of our members and many other genealogists research and publish genealogical information that does not involve any of their ancestors but is done for the good of genealogists that they have never met, and may never meet. On August 27 we will have a panel to discuss the topic of “Why they do what they do for genealogy”.
